Brookfield loses school busing decision

Published: Tue, May 5, 2009 @ 7:40 p.m.

WARREN — Brookfield schools must provide busing to schoolchildren who attend Catholic schools in the Warren area.

Judges for the 7th District Court of Appeals in Youngstown reversed a visiting judge in Trumbull County, who ruled parents in Brookfield were not entitled to have the school district bus their children to the Catholic schools outside the district.

The decision, by Judges Joseph Vukovich, Cheryl Waite and Mary DeGenaro, says the Brookfield school system must immediately provide the busing.

The case was filed by Valerie Luchette of Brookfield, whose lawyer was Judge Ronald Rice, judge of Eastern District Court in Brookfield. The judge’s wife Judge Cynthia Wescott Rice serves on the 11th District Court of Appeals in Warren.

The Rices and Luchette have children who want to be transported by a Brookfield school bus to Warren John F. Kennedy High School or Blessed Sacrament (K-6) school in Howland.

LOL I could have saved everyone a lot of time and told you this would be reversed. Rice gets whatever he wants in Brookfield. When you added that it's his kids that are on the bus I'm surprized he doesn't ask for a limo to deliver them to JFK

Just remember when you vote. If these people want their children to go to a special school then take them with your own money. You must have money to send them there. Our school is not good enough but our buses are!
